REVIEW BY NATALIE WARWICK
The Amazing Spider-Man is exactly that - Amazing!!! 136 minutes flew by in a haze of high action, stunning cinematography and awesome special affects. The scenes where Spider Man scales the city are spectacular. We saw this in 3D and you felt it. I was ducking and diving all over the place as parts of buildings etc. fell from the sky. It really was an absorbing experience. I strongly feel its well worth spending the extra dollar for 3D and I am slightly gutted that time constraints meant we couldn't experience this on the IMAX screen, because wow!! These high action, fast pased movies are what the cinema is all about and if possible I would reccomend you don't wait for blu-ray -see this on the big screen.
The Amazing Spider-Man is a rebranding of the 2002-07 trilogy Spider-Man featuring Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker and Kirsten Dunst as Mary Jane. This time around Andrew Garfield takes the lead and Emma Stone plays Gwen Stacey, as the love interest instead. I must say they are very good in these roles and their chemistry was great. I hear they're an item in real life so it stands to reason. Garfield's Peter Parker presents as much cooler, though, and, infact, the film over all is much cooler, but is also much darker. This one is also classified as a thriller and the dark moments definitely elevates the experience further.
If your familiar with the spiderman storyline you already know the drill and are aware of the tragedy that occurs. I did and so it was heart wrenching watching them unfold on screen, knowing he should do things differently but was powerless to stop it. This film really takes you on a rollercoaster of emotions, I was near to tears, laughing, in awe, willing him to succeed. Most the time I found myself with goose pimples all over my arms as I was absorbed further and further into the movie.
Please see this if you love superhero movies...or like films and the cinema experience period. Let's hope we're seeing our next avenger take flight.. I can't wait for a sequel.
